How to brush eye black

Here are the steps and techniques for applying eyeliner to achieve different effects:

For a Natural Look

1. Prepare the Tools: Select an eyeliner pencil or liquid eyeliner that suits you. Eyeliner pencils are easier to control and are suitable for beginners, while liquid eyeliners can create a more precise and sharp line.
2. Priming the Eyelids: Before applying eyeliner, it's advisable to apply an eyeshadow primer or a light layer of translucent powder on the eyelids. This helps to create a smooth surface and prevent the eyeliner from smudging.
3. Positioning and Application: Look straight ahead and gently pull the outer corner of your eye with your finger to make the eyelid skin taut. Start from the middle of the upper eyelid and gently draw a thin line along the lash line towards the outer corner of the eye. Then, fill in the gaps between the lashes at the inner corner of the eye to make the eyeliner look more natural. The thickness of the line should be adjusted according to your eye shape and personal preference, but generally, it should be thinner at the inner corner and slightly thicker at the outer corner.
4. Blending: If you're using an eyeliner pencil, you can use a small brush or cotton swab to gently smudge the eyeliner after application to make the edges softer and more natural.

For a Dramatic Look

1. Tool Selection: Choose a liquid eyeliner with a fine tip or a gel eyeliner with a precise brush for better control and a more defined line.
2. Base Preparation: Similar to the natural look, start with a primed eyelid to ensure the eyeliner adheres well and stays in place.
3. Creating the Line: Begin at the inner corner of the upper eyelid and draw a thick line along the lash line, gradually increasing the thickness as you move towards the outer corner. At the outer corner, extend the line slightly upwards and outwards to create a winged effect. The length and angle of the wing can be adjusted according to your preference and eye shape. For example, if you have round eyes, a longer and more pronounced wing can make your eyes look more elongated.
4. Enhancement: To make the look more dramatic, you can apply a second layer of eyeliner on top of the first one to make the line even thicker and more intense. You can also add some glitter or shimmer eyeshadow along the eyeliner to add more sparkle.
5. Lower Eyelid Eyeliner: Optionally, you can apply eyeliner to the lower lash line. Start from the outer third of the lower lash line and draw a thin line towards the inner corner, connecting it with the upper eyeliner at the outer corner. This can make the eyes look bigger and more prominent.

For a Smoky Look

1. Tool and Product Selection: Use an eyeliner pencil or a smudgeable gel eyeliner, along with some dark eyeshadows like black, gray or brown.
2. Base and Outline: First, apply a light layer of eyeshadow primer. Then, use the eyeliner to draw a thick line along the upper lash line and a thinner line along the lower lash line.
3. Smudging and Blending: Immediately after applying the eyeliner, use a small brush or a cotton swab to smudge the eyeliner, spreading it outwards and upwards. Then, use a dark eyeshadow to further blend and diffuse the eyeliner, creating a smoky effect. You can start from the outer corner of the eye and blend the eyeshadow towards the inner corner, gradually lightening the color as you move inwards.
4. Highlighting: To add dimension to the smoky look, apply a light-colored eyeshadow or highlighter to the inner corner of the eye and the brow bone. This will make the eyes stand out and the smoky effect more pronounced.
